I have over 30 years of experience as a tutor and lecturer in mathematics and physics, both before and after I completed my physics PhD at the University of Illinois. I like tutoring so much that I started doing it as a sophomore in college and have been doing it ever since. I am available for tutoring at middle school, high school, and college levels.

...To begin with, I give Practice Test to the student. Then analyze the weak areas of the student and focus to overcome the weak areas. I tell my students the tricks to find the solution even if they don't know its solution, how to be smart enough to improve the numbers, etc.

...For me the reward from tutoring is when I see that a student has caught onto an idea, when the light bulb goes on. In my career I've not only studied physics, mathematics and statistics, but applied them as well as time management and study skills. I can help a student succeed in all these areas.

...Concretely, this means I constantly ask questions to check understanding and select difficult problems that force them to apply concepts in multiple contexts. My hope is that they will internalize my role and learn how to flesh out and check their own understanding. This tutoring philosophy and methodology is complemented by years of experience teaching difficult students.

...I understand both the theoretical basis and practical application of both subjects. In particular, I understand the relationship between the two subjects. I have years of experience tutoring and teaching classes related to undergraduate and MBA level courses in business.
